Igniting Discretionary Effort Without Spending More

Overview

In a climate of rising recruitment costs and tighter budgets, HR leaders are under pressure to do more with less—retaining top talent, driving innovation, and improving performance without relying on financial incentives. This session explores how values-based leadership, autonomy, and purposeful recognition can unlock discretionary effort, build emotional commitment, and foster cultures where people want to give their best.

With generational expectations shifting and job loyalty no longer a given, we’ll look at how to meet the needs of a more purpose-driven workforce—one that expects meaning, flexibility, and trust as much as salary. Through strategic insight and practical discussion, we’ll examine what truly motivates people to go the extra mile—and how HR leaders can shape systems and cultures to support that effort sustainably.

Key Topics:

• Leading with values: aligning purpose, culture, and performance
• Building trust and autonomy without compromising accountability
• The role of recognition in driving intrinsic motivation
• Redefining reward: what matters most to different generations
• Making productivity gains without financial trade-offs

This event is tailored for senior HR leaders, and we’d love to hear from you if you'd like to join us. Please register your interest, and we’ll be in touch with an invitation. As space is limited and the conversations are geared toward senior-level challenges, we’re unfortunately not able to accommodate junior roles on this occasion.
